I have the worst life I ever heard of. Nothing but pencils and pads all day long. Oh, so you're a writer. Oh, that must be awfully interesting. Yeah, it’s a great life.

The Human Drama is the first of human interests. Color, history, romance and strange beauty fill the days and nights of nearly half a year on this supremely- significant voyage over the changing face of a world.
